Extracts Alcohol

1919

English Engineer Obtains Liquid Fuel From Coke.

CLEVELAND, England. — It is announced here that a local engineer has succeeded in extracting commercial alcohol from coke. It is claimed that if the process, which requires the use of gas, is applied to all the coal carbonized in Great Britain, an estimated yield of 60,000,000 gallons of motor spirits will be obtained annually, revolutionizing the supply and cost of liquid fuel.
